"The engagement is still new," she said, waving her ringed finger. "I haven't even gotten it resized yet."

“If the engagement is new, why have a wedding so fast?”

“Why wait,” Gina quickly added. “We’ve waited so long already.”

Chris looked at me. "Your folks haven't heard about it. I spoke with them the other day."

I smirked. "My folks don't even know where I live, much less what really goes on in my life. I still have yet to tell them."

"Still, I feel people would know about it." He looked at Gina, and I could see the smirk in his eyes. He wasn't believing this.

I hooked Gina's legs and swung them over mine. I then wrapped an arm around her, pulling her against my chest. To my surprise, Gina didn't stiffen up; if anything, she sank against me.

Chris watched me for a moment before looking back towards his paperwork. "For the house to be given, the marriage has to actually happen. So, you can't get the deed for the house until you have a marriage license. Since the transfer of everything takes time, I can allow you to stay in the house until the marriage is official in a couple of months."

"Which we will do after the wedding," Gina said.

Chris scowled. "You can keep the key until then, but if I don't get a copy of the license the day after the wedding, I'll take the key back. If you are even a day late, I’m taking it as if you didn’t follow the rules. Eddy was a stickler, after all."

Gina scowled but nodded.

Chris slid her papers. "Sign here." He pointed.

Gina signed a few papers, and each time Chris yanked the paper away, I could see Gina's face growing hotter. I squeezed her thigh, knowing we were close to being done. He then pointed at a few places to sign, and I did.

"I hope you're prepared for all the work this is going to take," Chris said, taking the papers.

"We're aware of how much the house needs," Gina said, placing her hand on mine. "We're ready."

Chris smirked. "I wasn't talking about the house."

I could see the color leaving Gina's face at the insult, and my anger boiled up. I'd had enough. I ground my teeth together and looked at Gina. "I'm going to show him out. How about you start lunch?" I cupped her face and leaned forward, kissing her, but I didn't softly kiss her either.

No, I popped her lower lip open and devoured her. Gina made a moaning sound, and I could feel her hands grabbing at my shirt. I cupped the back of her head, holding her against me for a good twenty seconds before I leaned back, pressing a soft kiss on her nose. I then unhooked her legs and pulled myself up. I glared at Chris angrily, who took a step back towards the door.

I walked behind him, grabbed the door, and spoke as he stepped outside. "And Chris, if you ever come to my house and talk that way to her." I smiled at him, leaning forward. "I'll fucking rip your throat out. I may have left the pack and all that cutthroat shit behind but don't think I've gone soft since I've left."

Chris' eyes widened, and I slammed the door shut.

Chapter 9 - Gina

I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep for several reasons. One, being Chris. I knew he was going to make things impossible, but to behave like he did and then flat-out say how much of a mess I was just felt like a slap in the face.

And Lucas's kiss. Fuck. I have never been kissed like that, and it sparked something deep within me that would not settle. When he walked away, I could hardly breathe, and for the rest of the day, I was wet, unable to calm myself. I knew he did it to make a point, but fuck had it started something within me.

My wolf turned into a fucky horny dog begging me to seek him out. I ignored her the best I could, but I continued to stare at him when I got a chance. My mind was everywhere, wanting so badly to just have him near me.

I groaned, turning over and pulling the sheets over my head. I tried to think of anything, but my mind just kept traveling back to the kiss and how in control Lucas was. He had held me close, his mouth taking what he wanted, and I just let him.

I could still feel the way he held me and the way his tongue swept over mine like he'd done it a million times before. He possibly had. I knew he’d had a lot of previous girlfriends. I imagined he was extremely skilled in everything. He likely knew how to get a woman wound up and how to unwind her.

I threw the sheets off me and swung up. I ran my hands through my hair and sighed. I needed to do something. I couldn't sit here and think about it over and over. It was only going to frustrate me even more. "I need to get busy."

I grabbed my towel off the back of my door and headed towards the bathroom. A hot shower would help me, and thenI would have some coffee. After that, I could get started on my day, and if I kept myself busy enough, I could forget all about yesterday.

I decided to start the coffee first, knowing it would be ready when I was done with my shower. After I started the pot, I headed into the bathroom.

"He probably already left for work," I said as I turned the water on, tossing my towel onto the rack. I turned to see if his bedroom door was open. It was shut, which told me he was probably gone. Lucas was normally up and gone by the time I got going anyway.
